Venom and Eddie
November 20, 2023 at 7:58 AM
How does the morning begin? Of course, from breakfast. The symbiote, which has entered the human body, begins to wake up its person in the head.
- Eddie, get up. - Venom says, almost purring.
The man only grunted dissatisfiedly and covered himself completely with a blanket. Venom doesn’t like this expense. As soon as the symbiote's head appeared above Eddie, he abruptly pulled the blanket off the man, causing him to immediately wake up.
- Come on, get up. – the symbiote said firmly and his head returned to the human body.
Eddie stretched and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Just as he reached for the refrigerator handle, Venom stopped him.
- Stop, - he said unexpectedly in the man’s head, - I’ll make you breakfast myself, you’ll have a chocolate bar.
- Well as you know. - Eddie said languidly, shrugging his shoulders.
Dark tentacles emerged from the man's body, three tentacles began to reach for eggs, chocolate syrup and bacon. Two tentacles took salt, pepper and sugar from the mezzanine. Two more tentacles were taking out two frying pans from the cabinet, and Eddie, half asleep, was making tea for himself. Venom could not cook without cheerful music, he turned on the radio, the legendary song “Hands up” from the group “Ottawan” was playing, and the symbiote, sticking its head out of the human body, began to sing along and monitor the cooking. Eddie was amazed how Venom was always cheerful in the morning, as if he hadn't slept at all, he would have been in such a mood, but he had to work. Eddie was sent to work from home, he was against it, but he has to accept it. Having made his hot tea, he sits down at the table where the laptop lay and began to work. Of course, he liked the music and how Venom sang along, but the music damnably prevented him from working calmly.
- Make it quiet, - Eddie said, without turning around, - I can’t concentrate.
The symbiote, exhaling in disappointment, made it a little quieter and stopped singing along, “Eddie knows how to ruin the mood,” Venom thought to himself upset and continued cooking. Venom, with his two paws, cooked breakfast in frying pans for his man, although he was damn offended that his friend was busy with work and did not pay any attention to him, but they were one and trusted each other.
Having prepared breakfast, he brings breakfast in plates with a toothy smile as usual.
- Eat Eddie. - he said, putting the plates on the table.
He looked at the man expectantly, he expected praise from him for preparing breakfast, but Eddie, without turning to the symbiote, only nodded. Venom's smile immediately disappeared from his face, but immediately returned.
- I'll go and put things in order. - he said in high spirits.
- Yeah. – Eddie answered briefly.
Venom took out a vacuum cleaner from the pantry, apparently he noticed crumbs on the floor after cooking. He started vacuuming and humming a song; because of the noisy vacuum cleaner, it was not clear what song he was singing. It looks funny that the symbiote’s head vacuums the floor with two tentacles, and even sings along.
Venom finished vacuuming and put the vacuum cleaner in place, he began to look around the apartment in search of something to do. There was practically nothing to do and the symbiote decided to wipe the dust, taking several rags with its tentacles, each tentacle wiped the dust on all the shelves. One tentacle came out of the apartment to the mailbox, to check if there was mail there. There was a bill for the apartment in the mailbox, he took this bill, closed the mailbox and the tentacles came back without anyone even noticing. Tentacles put the bill on the table next to Eddie and from the bedroom he heard: “There’s a letter for you.” Eddie looked up from his laptop and picked up the bills, and the apartment bill was a tidy one, which didn’t even surprise the brunette.
- Is this shack worth that? - he muttered to himself.
Breaking away, he began to eat his almost cold breakfast, namely scrambled eggs and bacon and waffles with chocolate syrup. He began to eat his breakfast while his symbiote cleaned the entire apartment. Venom finished wiping off the dust and put all the rags back in place, the apartment simply sparkled with cleanliness. And Venom was satisfied with his work done and returned to the body of his man and fell asleep waiting for time for lunch.
Eddie is so angry with himself that he doesn't even take the time to clean, cook, or even communicate with Venom. From the moment he was sent to work remotely, which was two weeks ago by the way, he began to behave differently, his work is always more important and only that. At night, he often falls asleep on the table with his laptop on, and wakes up every morning in his bed. He understands how much Venom cares about him, constantly prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner, and having nothing to do, begins to clean the entire apartment.
About three hours passed, and Venom's head emerged from the man's body. The symbiote looked at his man and quietly snorted with displeasure, and due to the fact that Eddie had been sitting at the laptop for all these three hours, without even getting up from his seat, this offended Venom even more. But still, he decided to cook lunch for his man and took the dirty plates with him to the kitchen. After washing the plates, he took out one package of steak and a couple of lettuce leaves, taking out one frying pan, he began to fry the steak with two tentacles, one to hold the handle, and the other to turn and add spices. The apartment smelled of fried meat and Eddie felt this wonderful aroma and his mouth watered, but he continued to work, did not even get up or warm up after six hours of working on the laptop. Venom finished preparing lunch, poured more orange juice into a glass, and brought this delicious lunch on his tentacles.
- Bon appetit, Eddie. – the symbiote said in high spirits.
Eddie still nodded at him in response. Venom is starting to get a little annoyed by this and has come up with a plan to get Eddie to pay a little attention to him. In the meantime, his head returned to the human body, take a little nap and wait until dinner.
Four hours passed, Venom woke up, his head came out of his body, took the dirty plates and rushed to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Eddie was still sitting at his laptop, but he got up a couple of times while the symbiote dozed. Venom took out a pack of spaghetti from one of the shelves of the nightstand and took out tomato paste, hot sauce and a pack of raw meatballs from the refrigerator. He took a small saucepan and two frying pans from the mezzanine. In a saucepan, he cooked the noodles, fried the meatballs in the first pan, and prepared the sauce in the second. After cooking the noodles, he poured out the water and put some spaghetti on the plate, poured some sauce on top and also added a couple of cooked meatballs and took it to his man. But this time he remained silent and put the plate of spaghetti on the table. He laid his head on Eddie's shoulder and sighed quietly and sadly. Eddie noticed that the small head of the symbiote was lying on his shoulder and decided to ask him:
- Is there something wrong? - he said calmly.
- What’s wrong, - Venom said a little feignedly, - everything is great.
- But I see that something is wrong with you.
Venom's head came off the man's shoulder and looked angrily at Eddie, who looked up from the laptop and looked at Venom's head.
- Oh, how smart you are. You don’t talk to me, you don’t thank me for cleaning, and most importantly for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You sit on that brain eating machine all the time!
- What, a brain-eating machine? - Eddie laughed.
Eddie began to laugh loudly, Venom looked at his man in disbelief, he did not understand what he said that made the man laugh. But he was all glad that Eddie paid attention to him and is now laughing out loud, but his plan is not finished yet.
-I'm certainly glad you're having fun. - Venom said calmly - But, perhaps, I’ll take it.
The symbiote's paw took the laptop and carried it to the window, and Eddie stopped laughing and immediately stood up from his seat. He understood what Venom wanted to do.
- Stop! - the brunette shouted - What are you going to do?!
- Throw out the trash. - He said, sticking out his paw with the tablet.
- Stop, don’t do this, please! There's so much data completed in two weeks, I don't want to lose another job. I'll do whatever you say. Please, Venom. - Eddie said almost begging.
Venom thought for a bit and answered him:
- Do you promise to devote a lot more time to me every day and work for at least 2-3 hours?
- Yes, yes, I promise! - Eddie chattered.
Venom exhaled and carefully put down the laptop. The symbiote's forehead pressed against Eddie's forehead and closed its white eyes.
- Forgive me, - says Eddie, - I’m such an idiot. I saw how you tried to get my attention, and I lost myself in my work.
- You really are an idiot, Eddie. - Venom purred.
Eddie grinned and kissed his symbiote's forehead.
- Well, let's go get your chocolate?
Venom's head immediately nodded several times.
- Yes Yes! You promised me! - said the symbiote, like a small child.
- I remember, I remember, we’re just going to visit Mrs. Chen. She probably completely forgot about us during these two weeks.
- Oh, don’t worry, she definitely hasn’t forgotten me, but I don’t know about you. - Venom joked.
And Eddie and Venom began to laugh, leaving the apartment in a good mood.
